Annual Account
m 16 Head of Big Arroyo
Sulaur Co, California. 10300 ft.
From the 20 traps set
about the willow thicket near
camp I got 2 Peromyscus
maniculatus, 3 Microtus
montanus and 1 Sorex obscurus.
Our hike today took
me during the morning up
the trail from Kearsarge
Sep 10700 ft and down
to the second lake. This
little lake at the present time
is almost completely frozen
over. After our dinner in the
camp we continued back
down the trail and to
the north east into the
Nine Lake Basin. Our
course was a gradual
swinging more and more
to the east until we reached
the last of the nine lakes
at alt. 12000 ft. We saw 9
of the nine lakes. This last
lake sets at the north of
Black Kearsarge. Returned to
camp by 4:00 P.M.
